Speech is civilization itself.
From Thomas Mann
Has the world ever been changed by anything save the thought and its magic vehicle the Word?
Psycho-analyses, how disgusting.
I love and reverence the Word, the bearer of the spirit, the tool and gleaming ploughshare of progress.
Democracy is timelessly human, and timelessness always implies a certain amount of potential youthfulness.
For the beautiful word begets the beautiful deed.
Only he who desires is amiable and not he who is satiated.
One always has the idea of a stupid man as perfectly healthy and ordinary, and of illness as making one refined and clever and unusual.
What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates its moist brilliance on another human creature!
What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.
